Friday October 23 Lecture
Saturday October 24 Explorations
Innovation is determined by our ability to think creatively, what is often referred to as thinking outside of the box. But what if our daily movement defines our capacity to expand our creativity? New biology, quantum physics, molecular science, mathematics, deep psychology, and indigenous wisdom all recognize that human beings are not static objects animated by a spirit, but expressions of living sacred processes. These perspectives contend that a unified matrix of life, not individual parts, provides an in-depth understanding of being human. This bio-intelligence can be felt-sensed through primal gestures. Engaging with a living systems approach, specifically our embryological story, reveals that human beings at their very core are fluid organisms (imagine a tadpole or caterpillar) that continually reshape through invaginating and innovating flows of intelligence. Turning our attention toward the somatic sensory system, direct perception enables a conscious participation in a universal intelligence capable of dissolving mind/body dualism and reductionist constructs. Our body is no longer reduced to an “it”; rather, we are living beings embedded within a larger field of dynamic relationships rich with innovative expression.
